Actually, you did. You questioned his commitment level and dedication.

Not what I was referring to in that comment.

What I'm saying is if he doesn't put on the good weight then it is not because "he can't gain weight" it's because he isn't dedicated or committed. That is all. And if he doesn't that is the truth. Like it or not.

Yeah thats what I heard. After getting with the nutritionist he stated that he did not realize it was that easy to gain weight. I see no problem with him getting to 250 lbs before next year. Did anyone see Devin Taylor during his first year in the NFL. They got him to almost 290 lbs in less than a year.

just asking... did you mean "almost 290" or 270? lions have him listed @ 267. I haven't found pics where he appears radically larger yet and maybe he gained later in the yr. I only ask because I'd like to see. Maybe direct me?? thanks

I saw a guy do this in college. It must have taken about a year. People made fun of him because he got super heavy in like 7 months, his face looked bloated and his stomach was huge. He'd come in a lift 3 reps of massive weights and drink water for 5 minutes between reps. Then I saw him like 6 months later and he looked like a body builder, said he ate strict diet and ran some, and worked out with slightly more reps.

I am a believer, just not willing to put my body through that. Don't have the discipline or time to devote that much to myself with a family. Should've done it when I was screwing around in college...

Wonder if the Sumo wrestlers do this? I heard they consume a lot of rice, to bulk up. Maybe they take out the slimming phase.

The kid had the means and access to add as much good weight as he wants to at USC if he is dedicated. He should of added it already. Something is wrong in the dedication department

Wow man, way to assume a lot. The coaches have said he can't put on weight becuase of metabolism, he was eatting for weight and by all reports working out hard. He said during bowl practices that the S&C coach got him with a nutritionist, and he started putting weight on during the season. Don't question our players or assume anything about people about whom you have no true reason to believe they are deserving of such treatment.

He not eating enough. That is as simple as I can put it. I'm sure the nutritionist is helping him.

Anyone can gain weight. Its harder for some with higher metabolism and naturally lean yes, but it is always possible trust me. You just have to eat eat eat man. haha He'll figure it out eventually...hopefully...

I agree. Work ethic is not a problem for English. Kid does everything he is asked to do.

No man...some guy on a message board, who isn't the team strength and conditioning coach, or its dietitian, or has actually sat with the players and set up a plan that best fits them knows what it takes for Darius to gain weight.

I'll trust our team appointed guys who are in constant contact with these players.

Exact fvcking thing I said earlier in this thread.
EXACT FVCKNG THING!

"If is genetically proven some bodies gain weight easier than others.
Women gain weight easier than men...people that are born leaner have trouble gaining weight...English has a lean frame and it will be harder for him to gain weight."

While you can manipulate your metabolism, it is based a lot simply on your genetic makeup.

Last I heard they said he was listed at 287lbs I just rounded up. Dude look massive compared to his time here.

If it wasn't a NCAA violation, I'd just send my wife over to cook for him. That would do it...

...ask me how I know. lol.

Of course, he could go to Bojangles everyday, then he would gain weight, but it would be useless.
Good weight is hard to gain...maybe if you actually got your ass off the couch and out of your ass you'd know that.

other than the weight gain, how strong is he....he looked OK if he could get around the edge, but if the OT got his hands on him, he was done....
